@yann I think It could be faded OD

looks pritty good!

Fading looks real nice, Yann @yann
Great progress.

Work going on. Flaps and ball turet. I used aftermarket barrels, because this in the kit was very poor. I drilled ball turret and fit barels. Wings ned some putty in undersurfaces. But I think fit was quite good, mabye better than Airfix. Unresolved problems are the dividing lines and the finished, cast with the antenna model. I already broke one, but found it and glued it. The dividing lines after intensive grinding just disappear, and here you cannot use the technique of cutting the panels ... because they are not there, because they are convex. Ball turret has very tigh fit. I have some work to pull turret in fuselage. I need to sand handles for turret and use some force o pull it. to go back to her place. The problem is also that when you turn, the masks are tearing off. I have to think about how to move on

Good progress indeed, Bernard @lis
Those barrels do look really nice.

Looking really nice, my friend @johnb!

Looks good, John (@johnb). Especially important on something like a bomber to prepaint as much as you can and work in sub-assemblies.

All of the extra work on the ball turret will be worth it in the end, Bernard (@lis). The way I usually approach the ball turret is to paint it away from the plane, remove the masks, and then add it to the plane. Lot less chance to mess up your work.

As brush painting looks very good! I think good brush paintng is difficult than airbrush.
